Birthday Post: These eyes are a little older...

These eyes of mine are a little older, but I can see things more clearly. My vision is no longer impaired by those rose colored glasses.

These eyes of mine are a little older, but time and experience have trained them in wisdom. I know that things are not always what they seem and that some things require a second look before making any decisions.

These eyes of mine are a little older, but pain and heartache have seasoned them with compassion. I have learned to look to the heart of the matter, to consider the circumstances before reacting out of my emotions.

These eyes of mine are another year older, but the I've love received has empowered them to show love. I understand what it means to need and long for love and how it feels to receive it. So, I try as much as I can to show love to those who I meet...the kind of love that imparts wisdom, extends grace wrapped in compassion.

These eyes of mine are certainly a little bit older today, and I am thankful for all that brought me here.
